There were floods and power outages. The subway system in NYC was shut down, and there were evacuations of people in flood zones. There were trees down, basement floods, and lots of property damage. There were shortages of batteries, flashlights, and water at many stores before the hurricane, and also many stories of people helping each other and taking in people who needed to be evacuated.
